Mario, what's your point?
In the LX7A operation, all of the amps were standard ham amps
(most made in USA) and some only put out 1000w!
I didn't personally operate the CN8W station but I personally
know almost all of the guys that did. They didn't go out and buy
a bunch of high-power amps. They took their own personal amps
along with them, which are standard amps like the 1500w Alpha
varieties and TL-922.
The CN8W operation was video taped and then distributed worldwide
on tape, CD, and DVD. I'll watch the video again and see if I
can spot anything suspicious, but I believe we'll find they were
"clean" on that front.
And by the way, we're discussing transceivers here, specifically
their receivers.
The TS-850 is only in mid-field in the ARRL test results.
All the power in the world won't help if you can't hear much.
"My point" was that there are many other factors in a successful
multi-multi operation that are just as important as the rig you
are using - in fact probably more important.

DJ0IP> The current ALL TIME WORLD RECORD for CQ WWDX Contest is
held by
the Bavarian Contest Club (BCC) which I am proud to be a member
of. We hold both the CW and SSB records. ALL transceivers used
for this were Kenwood TS-850's (which is a 1-generation-old
"mid-range" Kenwood transceiver).
Unfortunately the above records were made before 1.500 W max. RF
power
clause was introduced!
That makes only a few dB difference :-)
